Malaysia will have her own Space University (at a cost of 6Bill)

another project up for corruption….

Dr. Sheikh Muszaphar Shukor Sheikh Mustapha (aka monyet angkasa) must have made some serious discovery of oil field at the moon…to justify the spending of 6 billion on a space university in the most flood prone area of Johor…… all these, while the world is facing severe increase in food prices and rise in inflation…

JOHOR BAHARU, April 27 (Bernama) — A local company and its overseas partner plan to set up Space Science University of Malaysia (UniSam) costing RM6.1 billion on 2,500-acre site in Kota Tinggi.

Next Systems Sdn Bhd chief executive officer Noor Faizal Abdul Samad said the university would be equipped with modern and international-standard space science laboratories and recruit renowned experts. “If the proposal is accepted, Malaysia will emerge as the third country in the world to have a space science university after Embry Riddle Aeronautical University in Florida, United States, and International Space University in Strasbourg, France,” he told Bernama recently.

He said the setting up of a space science university in Malaysia was also aimed at bringing back the glory of Muslims in the field by drawing well-known Muslim space scientists like Prof Ahmed Zemail and Prof Ibrahim Semiz. UniSam, he said, would have eight faculties including Space Engineering and Aeronautics; Mechanical Engineering; and Bioengineering encompassing Biomolecular Engineering and Medicine.

By the way, I am still awaiting the KESIMPULAN EXPERIMEN (EXPERIMENT FINDINGS/CONCLUSION) which was promised 3 months ago by Sheikh Muszaphar HERE…

Since the findings will be published in an international journal, I believe the report must be making it’s round among all the universities involved like those from Universiti Kebangsaan Malaysia, Universiti Putra Malaysia dan Universiti Teknologi Mara for error correction purposes. Needless to say, as a Malaysian I am damn proud that finally our country have something to shared with the whole wide world…
